Topic: PM Attachments

[DarkAngel612]

LOL well I have always said that if something should go wrong my forums will lead the way.

I reinstalled it into that naughty forum, then last night I went thru the others and wouldn't you know it.....

another one went blank.

I had to go into the server files, manually change out the files and removed the old zip. This got my site to come back into view --- same error --- and the other one that was naughty  had to removed the old one cause it went blank when I uninstalled it in admin...LOL I uploaded all the files and it saw everything as the proper version...weird.

Now all forums are updated and working bootifully then I got to go walking to see the neighborhood fireworks.

Dougiefresh, I am afraid it was this mod that was causing my completely borked UI in my pm's (you'll remember I THOUGHT it was your inline attachments mod that was the issue?) well, after "disabling attachments" the pm template went completely back to normal. (Did this WITH and WITHOUT your inline attachments mod installed - incidentally one of the only mods I have installed on my forum that didn't scream any errors whatsoever! a very clean mod too!)

Let me know if you need to know what other mods I have, or any settings. Hell I'll even give you access to my forum so you can see it for yourself if it helps

Best wishes

Beo

Hmmmm....  I'll take a look at the mod again when I get some time.  I've got 7 mods to upgrade for SMF 2.1 Beta 3, and a few mods to fix in general....

[dougiefresh]

UPDATE:  I was trying to modify my Post and PM Inline Attachments mod and discovered that SMF 2.1 Beta 3 takes a completely new approach to attachments.  While the current code can insert attachments, there is a distinct "SMF 2.0"-ishness to the PM attachments that would have felt at home in SMF 2.1 Beta 2, but which is out of place in SMF 2.1 Beta 3.  Since I am interested in maintaining some sense of "SMF 2.1"-ishness within the forum, a complete rewrite looks necessary in order to accomplish this.....

Uploaded v2.3 - July 11th, 2017
o Removed support for SMF 2.0 RC versions, as well as SMF 2.0 thru 2.0.3.
o Replaced IFNULL with COALESCE in database queries for better Postgres support.


@Everybody:  I have removed support for the SMF 2.0 RC versions, as well as SMF 2.0 thru SMF 2.0.3.  My feelings on this particular topic is that I will not support such old forum installs.  Once again, I have kept the old version 1.6 on the mod download page in the event someone needs it, but any forum running 1.6 will not get support from me.

Uploaded v2.4 - September 2nd, 2017
o Added SMF 2.0.x-ish support for SMF 2.1 Beta 3.


UPDATE:  The changes required to bring SMF 2.1 Beta 3 changes to this mod won't be as drastic as I had initially feared.  Evidentally, most of the changes are done via Javascript, which means I've have some fun trying to determine what changes need to be made in order to do drag-and-drop for file uploading, and etc...

Wow....  I'm looking into it right now....

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v2.5 - September 4th, 2017
o Moved all possible hook code to Subs-PMAttachmentsHooks.php.
o Fixed issue where admin search was broken due to file not being loaded.


@FractalFrank:  This update should fix the issue that you found!  Thanks for the bug report!

[FractalFrank]

wow, that was fast! 

uninstalled and updated. sorry to say, we still get the same error.
Don't know what else information I could provide - just let me know..

[dougiefresh]

Uploaded v2.5.1 - September 6th, 2017
o SMF 2.0: Fixed admin search functionality.


@FractalFrank:  Sorry, I thought I fixed it for both versions.  Turns out the code for SMF 2.0 is a bit different than SMF 2.1 Beta 3....  This update fixes the issue.  Thank you for the bug report.

[DarkAngel612]

so we that still use 2.0.14 can still use this, we do not have to have the beta version of new version ?

[dougiefresh]

No, you don't need SMF 2.1 Beta 3 in order to use this mod.  It should work fine with 2.0.14....

[DarkAngel612]

thanks sweety, love the mod and your avatar...tis what I have been doing since January last year...LOL

Glad I could help ya!

Hi dougie, how/where i can access the attachments sent in PMs ?

I know in which directory you have them but i'd like to audit them (encryption is ON, also) ... is this possible ?

[dougiefresh]

Audit them how?  The point of personal attachments is privacy.  I don't think even the admin can't see the attachments without the related personal message being reported....

[aegersz]

there can be NO privacy on my site as the members can be subjected to any audit, any time. We need to be able to limit people making us a liability, however futile that is sometimes.

not a big problem, i can always disable it for regular members anyway if need be.

my only gripe with SMF is the lack of serious auditing (yes, anti-privacy) tools but then again, my needs are unique.

[aegersz]

i came up with a solution to all my auditing issues and i can download attachments ... see https://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=556634
